Screentime: 3 hours 58 min 

Youtube: 1 hour 42 min 

• Mostly music

Instagram: 52 min 

• I was sporadically checking this throughout the day but I will say a solid 36 of those minutes was recently between 9 and 11 pm. I think I want to cut down on the sporadic usage going forward and be a bit more intentional if I'm going to block off time. I think my mentality when I find myself looking at this and Tiktok sporadically is like I scroll for 2 minutes, then I'm like *oh, I'm not supposed to be doing this, let me find other ways to regulate myself*, and then I close out of the app. I think this is just part of the process of me decreasing my social media usage but it's another metric that I can be mindful of.

Tiktok: 14 min 

• Again, sporadic usage. 

Hexa Sort: 25 min 

• I was playing this as I was on the phone with my boyfriend. 

Safari: 16 min 

• I just viewed the forum briefly in the morning while I was at work.

Screentime: 3 hours 13 min 

Youtube: 2 hours 27 min 

• Most of this was music, about an hour of this was poltical content on Youtube. 

Hexa Sort: 28 min 

• I played this for like 7 minutes during a boring meeting at work and for like 21 minutes while I was watching Youtube videos. 

Instagram: 27 min 

• spent like 12 minutes on it in the morning and like 15 minutes on it after work

Tiktok: 9 min 

• I just spent this time at like 12:01 am before I tried to go to sleep last night. So technically this falls under today because of the time but in my mind, this is for yesterday lol. 

Thoughts: I think my phone usage was pretty tame today. I think part of that is because I has some family social stuff going on and because work generally kept me busy.

Screentime: 3 hours 17 min 

Youtube: 1 hour 38 min

• watched a few video essays 

Safari: 1 hour 12 min 

• I don't think this is an accurate number. It says that I spent an hour on Safari from 9 pm-10pm. I checked a couple things online but I wasn't on there the entire hour. I think I just had the app open. Plus, if this were the case, my screentime would add up to more than the 3 hours and 17 min shown after taking the other apps to consideration. 

Instagram: 37 min

• I checked Instagram from 1am to 2am in the morning for 7 min, from 5pm -6pm for 10 min, from 8pm -9pm for 10 min, and from 9pm to 10pm for another 10 min. 

Hexa Sort: 26 min

• I was playing this in the evening while listening to a video essay.   

Tiktok: 21 min 

• I spent this time from 10-12pm. 

Thoughts: My screentime felt kind of low today. Usually that is the case if I have a packed or social day but I didn't do jack shit today. I spent a lot of time just relaxing tbh and I think it's a good sign that I'm able to relax without zoning out in front of a screen. I was also playing around with the settings on my phone and I saw that there is a way to disable your phone usuage between certain hours of the day.  This is with the exception of a couple of communication apps, the clock app, and maps. I'm going to try that out by disabling my phone usage from 10 pm to 9 am in the morning.

Screentime:  2 hours 55 min 

Tiktok: 45 min 

• I hit up against my limit and decided to stop then and there. 
• This wasn't sporadic. This happened between 11am to 1pm. 

Maps: 40 min 

• I went to a coffee shop like 20 min away from my home and so I needed the GPS to navigate there and back. 

Messages: 32 min 

• Talked to a few people and responded to some messages 

Instagram: 15 min 

• This was very sporadic. From 10 am to 11am, I spent 2 min on the app. From 11am to 12pm it was 2 min. From 1pm to 2pm it was 1 min. From 3pm to 4pm it was 1 min. From 5pm to 6pm it was 9 min.
  • I guess since the algorithm isn't tailored to me, I don't get sucked into it in the way that TikTok sucks me in and that's why my use is more sporadic. Still, I feel like a crackhead when I keep checking like this even if I'm not spending an extend period of time on the app.  

Safari: 7 min 

• Had a couple of random google searches.
